Özet:
A rich vein of economic writings which runs through the nineteenth century and beyond is now largely ignored because its authors were women or because they favoured literary over scientific forms. Economics as Literature re-examines some of the most interesting texts from within this tradition. Willie Henderson, using analyses based on rhetoric and literary form, demonstrates that these works have both analytical and literary merit, and challenges the accepted notion of a hierarchy of knowledge based on the superiority of science.
